  • Abstract
    As 3-D ICs gain popularity in the industry, finding an efficient way to test the stacked chips is becoming a new challenge. The authors of this paper present a contact-free testing method using millimeter-wave wireless I/Os with microbump antennas. This method has the potential to reduce the latency and cost of 3-D IC testing.
